Ted Tattermusch: Jena star moves to Energie Cottbus!

The transfer of a promising talent is currently causing a stir in the football scene. Ted Tattermusch, the 24-year-old striker from Carl Zeiss Jena, is moving to Energie Cottbus. The official announcement of the transfer took place on June 12, 2025. With a total of 12 goals and 4 assists in 29 games, Tattermusch attracted a lot of attention for Jena last season. As one of the few bright spots, he will now strengthen Cottbus' offensive, which is looking for new impulses.

But who is this Tattermusch? The powerful player, known for his header strength, measures an impressive 1.94 meters. Coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz highlights the need for a stronger presence in the air, which Tattermusch can undoubtedly provide. He not only brings his achievements with him from Jena, but also has experience with Borussia Dortmund's second team and almost 100 appearances in the 3rd division, including 14 games for his youth club SV Meppen. This diverse experience could be of great value for Cottbus.

Departures from Jena and new opportunities for Cottbus

Tattermusch's move is not the only departure that Jena has to cope with. A total of four offensive players have left the club, including Erik Weinhauer, who moved to Erzgebirge Aue, Elias Löder, who is joining SSV Ulm, and Benjamin Zank, who is going to Viktoria Köln. In the midst of these changes, Jena has already signed two new signings: Kevin Lankford from BFC Dynamo and Manasse Eshele from Halleschen FC. It remains to be seen how the new team will line up.

Cottbus is relying on a large number of new players in order to be successful in the 3rd league in the coming season. In addition to Tattermusch, Moritz Hannemann and Theo Ogbidi were also signed. These fresh talents should help Cottbus remain competitive and perhaps even work its way up the table.

League transfer record

The current transfer balance in the 3rd league shows an exciting change in transfer activity. With a total of 364 departures and 368 new arrivals, the clubs are busy coming and going. The transfer income amounted to an impressive 7,888,000 euros, while the expenses were significantly lower at 3,930,000 euros. This results in a total balance of 3,958,000 euros. It turns out that the clubs are definitely active in strengthening their squads and attracting new talent.

The coming months will be crucial to see how the teams develop and whether the new players can provide the desired impetus. With talent like Tattermusch, Cottbus is on a promising path to playing a good role in the 3rd league next season. The anticipation for the next season increases with every new player signed.
